Experimental study for growth potential of unicellular alga Chlorella pyrenoidosa on dairy waste water: An integrated approach for treatment and biofuel production

► Chlorella pyrenoidosa, an algal strain has good potential for bioremediation. ► C. pyrenoidosa showed about 80-85% phosphorus and 60-80% of nitrogen removal from the wastewater. ► Influent was found more suitable substrate for biodiesel production in comparison to effluent.
